Ian's Kitchen in Dublin

I love going here - its very popular for a reason. Great food, nice atmosphere, beautiful staff and service.

I went out of my way to visit this cafe based on a strong recommendation, so I had high expectations—but I left feeling quite disappointed. The food was fine, but not particularly memorable. We had the French toast with hollandaise and salmon, and the pulled beef on french toast, which could have been hotter. The service let things down. The male waiter seemed more interested in chatting with other tables, and we struggled to get his attention. After waiting around 10 minutes to pay and get his attention, I had to stand up and approach the counter myself. He was on his hunkers chatting. The cafe is compact, with very tight table spacing and a high noise level. Fewer tables would make it far more pleasant. Maybe we came on an off day, but overall, it felt a little overhyped.

Cosy spot with charming staff. Really helpful and patient with some older customers. Was buzzing when I was there, very tasty and plentiful portions. Thanks all:)

Wish I could’ve tried the entire menu! This is a great spot with really lovely service. Usually there’s a bit of a queue but we went on a relatively quiet Sunday and could stay as long as we wanted. I tried the scampi tacos and the lemon merengue pancakes and both of them were outstanding! Mateo also took very good care of us. You can’t leave without trying one of their coffees!

Great food, great coffee, great people. Staff are so sound, they rushing to your service. Such a cool spot. Everyone working hard and having a good time doing it. Got a walk in table at 11:30 Sunday morning. The chef special when offered is a must. Sourdough, hummus, roast veg, smashed Avo, rocket and Parmesan. Added some poached eggs. 10/10.

We went in here today for breakfast. The minute we arrived all the staff were so nice and welcoming. Our server Gabriel was recommending dishes and recommended the special for the day to me. He was so lovely and really looked after us. The dish was absolutely delicious and the coffee was so smooth too! We will definitely be back!

Best brunch I’ve had in a long time. The cafe has a warm, lively atmosphere and those working there are kind and welcoming. A special shoutout to Rory and Mateo! The nutella latte and lemon meringue pancakes are superb. Highly recommend!

Best brunch in Dublin hands down. Can be beat for the welcome also. Very kid friendly. Thanks Mateo

The food staff and setting is amazing. The new sandwich menu is a must. If you have not tried get in. I love this place. 💚💚
